In the golden kingdom of Goldmeria, witches are feared, hunted, and forced to hide beneath the protection of secluded covens. The Crown insists that magic is dangerous, but the truth behind the kingdomโs history is far more complicated than anyone dares to admit. Y/n has never been content with the sheltered life her coven offers. Curious about the world beyond the bramble paths, she dreams of discovering what lies beyond the rules she has always been expected to follow. Her search for something more takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Jonah Blackthorne, a young knight and witch hunter whose loyalty to the Crown conflicts with questions he has never dared to ask. Bound by opposing worlds, Y/n and Jonah find themselves caught between suspicion and attraction as forgotten magic begins to stir and secrets surrounding the royal family threaten to unravel. Meanwhile, the royal court conceals ambitions of its own, where affection becomes possession, loyalty demands sacrifice, and appearances are rarely what they seem. As the boundary between truth and deception begins to crumble, Y/n must decide how much she is willing to risk for freedom, love, and the answers she has always sought. In a kingdom ruled by golden promises and buried secrets, even the moon has something to hide. (This story is inspired by the songs Golden Brown by The Stranglers and Love Story by Indila!)
